Stacked basalt flows cover much of the NW European continental margin, including potentially prospective sediments of the Faroes shelf. Such flows attenuate seismic energy, hindering sub-basalt structural imaging which is critical for both exploration and tectonic studies. Low-frequency, long-offset...
